Awesome Audi experience in San Francisco

REPRESENTING the Borneo Bulletin recently, I got in gear for an Audi cars’ driving adventure in the city of San Francisco.

I took an S5 Cabriolet and an RS3 for a spin on an exciting sightseeing driving tour around the renown Bay Area (essentially the area encompassing the city of San Francisco and surrounding counties).

San Francisco County is a diverse, dynamic and beautiful region with lively cities, celebrated wine country and outstanding natural wonders.

Breathtakingly quick, these cars have looks, handling and performance, and I had a chance to slide behind the wheel and enjoy a taste of driving perfection.

In addition, I experienced unprecedented braking, handling and acceleration, and explored coastal parklands as well as Napa (California’s world famous Napa Valley Wine Country) before stopping at an outstanding restaurant in Sausalito.

Sausalito is a city in Marin County at the northern part of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge (across the Golden Gate Strait from San Francisco city). It’s known for its Richardson Bay houseboat enclaves. We also headed to the coast.

Convertibles offer some of the most fun you can have in a sports car.

And as for the car from Ingolstadt, the Audi S5 Cabriolet – with its 3.0 litre turbocharged V6 and 354 horsepower mated with eight-speed automatic – produces lively turbocharged performance.
